Lucca and Tuscan surroundings

Its ‘Friday: just left the motorway at Lucca Est, I find myself in front of the beautiful walls that surround the city of Lucca; I park near Porta Santa Maria and walk through the streets to reach my favorite restaurant: Osteria Miranda . The owners are three “Lucchesi” ( locals) with an overwhelming sympathy: a smile, a chat and the crazy Tuscan dishes make me forget all the worries of the week right away.

Straight out of LuccaI proceed towards Abetone, climbing up more and more winding roads until you arrive in the beautiful “Borgo Giusto” avillage of the XVI century restored and reconstructed as a hotel. In this village, where the names of every home come from those who have inhabited from the past, there is also the one that the Great maestro Giacomo Puccini attended as a young man with the owner family: I Giusti. You can stay in the main house or in intimate studios and suites of various sizes, as the house of the painter where there is still the old painting of a craftsman who dabbled in painting, but each house has to be discovered…

Book a massage in the delightful spa and spend the rest of the day by the pool before dinner in the lovely restaurant in the village.
